Biznik event hosts now have the option of charging for events

I had one of those marathon code-burn sleepless nights Wednesday, and the happy (if not totally awake yet) result is that we now have a truly slick way for event hosts to optionally charge a fee for their events. And, as if by magic, we also now have three upcoming events using this feature already in the calendar! Well, that wasn’t so much magic - great events keep stacking up thanks to the fabulous members who host them.

And speaking of that, has anyone noticed how great the current lineup is? Wow, we’ve got a total of 8 different events coming up, with a range of topics and activity types that I’d sum up as: connecting, reading, brainstorming, drinking, de-stressing, ass-kicking, blogging and decorating. But of course, one word doesn’t do them justice. Here’s a brief introduction to each upcoming event, with links to more information.
